Try to Avoid:

• Highly regulated industries (complex sales cycles)
• Low-margin businesses (restaurants, retail)
• Industries with seasonal cash flow
• Businesses dependent on consumer spending

Warning Signals to Watch Out For

• Asking for discounts before seeing results
• Wanting to "think about it" for weeks
• Demanding unrealistic timelines
• Comparing you to cheaper alternatives immediately
• Poor communication or delayed responses
• Questioning your process extensively upfront

Remember: The easy way is the hard way. Being selective upfront saves massive headaches later.
